Since every year of your dog or cat’s life is equivalent to seven human years, we do not believe that yearly exams are frequent enough for early disease detection. We have seen that biannual wellness exams allow us to provide the best possible health care to your pet for a variety of reasons. In addition to early disease detection, seeing your pet twice a year allows us to split up how many vaccines your pet receives at one time. Pets, just like humans, can have reactions to vaccines, and splitting the vaccines among two visits six months apart decreases the chance of a vaccine reaction.

The biannual wellness exams also allow us to individually tailor a vaccine protocol to the needs of your pet.

During your first visit to Peachtree Hills Animal Hospital, we will develop detailed vaccines and exam schedule for your pet. At this time, our reminder systems will be set to alert you via email, regular mail, or telephone when your pet’s next wellness exam is due to help ensure the health of your four-legged family member.
